C.O.L.R. OBJECT EDITOR 

520 ST Color Oriented Low Resolution Object Editor 
Written in C and assembly language 
by The Rugby Circle 

Written by professional, first-line ST developers for in- 
house design of ST Joust. C.O.L.R. OBJECT EDITOR 
will automate the design process of bit-mapped graphics 
images and transfer them to usable byte-array format. 
Sample source and object code animation routines are 
included. Save tremendous time and work. GEM inter- 
face gets you up-and-running right away. 

ST RAM is divided into Mural space (full-screen 
320x200) and Edit space (80x40 chunk). Grab any 
piece of your Mural with the edit drag box and it will in- 
stantly copy to the Edit screen. Flip to your Edit screen 
and the 80x40 chunk now fills 90 percent of the display 
(FatBits mode). Draw with the mouse or use the cursor 
keys for fine detail. Keep your bearings. Handy X-Y coor- 
dinates always on-screen. Create drag boxes to manipu- 
late part or all of your images. Invert and twist objects, 
copy objects, and wipe drag boxes with any color. Preview 
final image size at all times in the Object Display 
Window. 





"An all-purpose graphic design utility package for 
ST program designers using the 16-color mode." 



Brilliant 16-color palettes are modified and stored in 
separate files for greater flexibility. Modify palettes with 
the R,G,B keys— RGB numeric values are displayed for 
easy reference. Up to four palettes may be stored in RAM 
and accessed immediately with the Function keys. 

Mural mode has the unique ability to act as a tem- 
porary storage area for 20 Edit screens. Simple PUT and 
GET commands between Edit and Mural modes let you 
work on multiple objects at once without accessing the 
disk drive. 

Just point and click the mouse to use your objects and 
designs. C.O.L.R. OBJECT EDITOR will then write a 
data file to disk in string array format. Generates source 
code essential for designing "software sprites— the 
closest thing to player/missiles the 520ST has. An exam- 
ple is provided (in C) that will demonstrate how to move 
your objects around the screen for game animation. Also 
useful for creating detailed landscapes. Byte-arrays can be 
manipulated ft-om other languages, such as assembler. 
Forth and BASIC. Mural file formats are compatible with 
other popular ST paint programs.

APX CLASSICS ^ANTIC 



^,^ 



^SiJS^iJ APX lives again . . .via Antic! 



The Atari Program Exchange was one of the most advanced software distribution concepts ever created for personal 
computers (IBM came out with something very similar for the PC in 1984). APX published the best software submitted 
by Atari users from all over the world. These programs were outstanding— but considered too specialized in appeal for 

Atari's mass merchandising channels. 
APX software was packaged simply but tastefully and sold mostly through well-written catalogs. With the reorganiza- 
tion of the Atari company and the shutdown of APX operations, Antic arranged directly with the authors to re-release 
many of the very best APX programs— games, real world applications, powerful utilities, demonstrations and tutorials. 
APX Classics from ANTIC brings back the finest programs that had been unavailable to Atari users for many 
months. And you can count on being able to find what you're looking for at Aa//" Atari's former prices. 

But you'll also notice that many of these programs have never been published anywhere before . . . 

We are including this brand-new software with our top-of-the-line APX Classics because we want you to know they 

are as good as the best of APX. (Also, a lot are the latest works of former APX star programmers.) Watch for new 

product introductions every two months. If you have written an outstanding program, send it in for our Catalog 

Manager to evaluate. We pay competitive royalties. 

All software available on disk only. 

Each program disk is self-documented. Antic is in no manner associated with the Atari Program Exchange. Atari is a trademark of the Atari Corp. 
Antic is an independent periodical not affiliated in any way with Atari Corp.

ATASCII translation-full and half duplex. Use BACKTALK with almost 
any modem: Atari 850-compatibles, 835, 1030, or XM301, (MPP version 
available December 1, 1985). BACKTALK's Pop-Up menu and extra-large 
buffer will minimize on-line time (especially for 130XE owners!). 
Ergonomic design. Eye-soothing fine-scrolling text and edit preview win- 
dow make life more comfortable 
The revolutionary Macro Command Language features these commands: 



wait a specified amount of time 

execute macro at a specified time of 

day 

LOAD new macro library from disk 

and execute 

joystick activation of last 5 macros 



• wait for any length character string 

• control capture buffer (on/off/dump) 

• control baud rate switching 

• control Xmodem up/download files 

• chain macro's with GOTO statements 

• error handling (ON ERROR GOTO)

THE PAPIE DISKS 

Climb into the hacker's attic and discover the 
arcane secrets of Atari professional programmers! 

In the early days of Atari, top professional freelance programmers banded together to trade their secrets. 
Organized by the prolific Jerry White, the group called itself the Professional Atari Programmer's 

Information Exchange (PAPIE). 

The PAPIE roster reads like a Who's Who of Atari programmers. A sampling includes Russ Wetmore, 

author of "Preppie I & II," Clinton Parker, creator of ACTION!, Jim Nangano, "Flip & Flop" and "Spy vs 

Spy," and Sheldon Leemon, creator of "Instedit." 

Each member contributed their own private programming utilities and favorite programs, which were 

compiled on disk by Jerry White under the contributor's name and program number (i.e. Wetmore's 3rd 

program would be WE rMORE3). Some of these professionals are now willing to share them with Antic's 

readers, so we are offering them as a kind of "hacker's delight." 

Most PAPIE programs are utilities that help solve advanced programming problems. And there are a good 

deal of assembly language routines intended to be incorporated into larger programs. In some cases there 

is documentation, but mostly there is none. Get the whole set and explore how the pros program! 

EACH DISK IS GUARANTEED TO BE MORE THAN 95% PACKED!

ANTIC PUBLIC 
DOMAIN LIBRARY 

Discover the work of those committed Atarians who unselfishly create programs for everyone to 
share. During the last three years, Antic has seen the best (and the worst) of it all. We're picky. Our 
original Library, introduced in 1982, listed 16 disks, it has grown over 300% in the past twelve 
months. Our next goal is 100 disks or 1,000 programs (whichever comes first). 

During the past three years, this family of talented programmers loved the Atari and wrote pro- 
lifically for the machine. After all, a challenge is a challenge, right? There was Stan Ockers, who 
wrote Chicken (Antic's very first game). And some true devotees, like Len Dorfman, who never ac- 
cepted money for anything he wrote. The works of these talented people, the PAPIE programmers, 
and others, have inspired many enthusiasts to create exceptional programs. 

What's in store for the future? As well as our commitment to the current line of 8-bit software, 
there is now the Atari ST. Antic is going to release ALL the early ST Public Domain software as it's 
written. In fact, the leaders in the 68000 world will probably be the next generation's software suc- 
cess stories. 

THE USER GROUP/ BBS CHALLENGE 

You may have Public Domain software to contribute to our Library. Let us know if you do. THE 
CHALLENGE: Any user group librarian or BBS SYSOP who can produce a disk that is good enough 
for the Antic PD Library will get their groups name or BBS phone * in that program's title. (Rules: No 
programs can be duplicates of anything currently published here, and nothing can be copyrighted 
by any publisher or individual.) 

—The Customer Service Dept 



All programs In this series sold as Is. There's almost no documentation included, except what's built into the programs them- 
selves (besides the exceptions noted here in this catalog). Therefore, you may need some expertise in order to use the 
products properly. Because this is Public Domain software, not Antic's, the Arcade Customer Service Dept. cannot provide 
the same type of service as for programs we publish ourselves, (i.e., Antic Magazine type-in listings, APX Classics, and pro- 
grams from other internal sources.) There may be some programming quirks you'll need to modify for your individual hard- 
ware system (read the descriptions carefully). However, all programs have been tested at Antic and will p^rform^Due to un- 
foreseen circumstances, contents may vary slightly from the descriptions here. 




STERM PLUS 

Get on-line and capture files 
with STERM, a simple termi- 
nal program written in com- 
piled 68000 assembler. 
STERM's source code is In- 
cluded to show you exactly 
how It works. Antic's BMARK 
is the classic Erastosthenes 
Sieve benchmark from Byte 



Magazine— prooA that the ST 
is the fastest micro around! 
A sampling of Antic- 
developed C source and ob- 
ject code demonstrating 16- 
color graphics are included. 
Plus, five LOGO demos to get 
you started, and more.
